Abstract in brief

  • The study investigated whether procrastination causes mental health issues like depression and anxiety in university students over time, based on the procrastination-health model that suggests procrastination leads to stress and then to chronic conditions.
  • Data collected from 392 students over a year showed that procrastination was linked to increased depression and anxiety, but perceived stress did not mediate this relationship as originally hypothesized.
  • The findings suggest that procrastination negatively affects mental health but not necessarily through perceived stress, indicating the need for further research on other possible mechanisms."
